Re: Could we get a final list of the reagents, etc we're going to need to imbue pleas
to answer that I'll quote Draconi:
ingredients that drop throughout the expansion content.
It all depends, if the drops are exclusive or spread out for same rare ingredients.
I will explain better my thinking.
Let's imagine one of the rare ingredients is XYZ.
Now, if that XYZ is only obtainable in 1 way and that way only, this may be a problem.
First, because this will probably clog that source since a whole lot of players will queue up by that source to farm that particular ingredient. This will harm other players' game play.
Second, because that particular way to get that ingredient might not be liked by some players and, therefore, cut them out from that particular ingredient.
If instead the new XYZ rare ingredient will be obtainable from various, different sources, this will reduce much the clogging (problem number 1) as players will have various places and ways to get it and it will also reduce problem number 2 making it available to players several varied ways of getting it thus making it more likely that players may find a way they prefer more, rather than another, to obtain that particular rare ingredient.
When I talk about varied, I am not referring at a pink boss dropping it along with a grey and a red and a whatever other colored boss dropping them. To me, that the drops come from different bosses it is basically all of the same type of sourcing.
When I talk about variety of sources I mean a "real" variety of sources which means monsters' drops but also resource gathering or luck finding in a treasure chest or other ways that tailor to different ways of playing the game for different players.....
